Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Well, I don't show much emotion and, when I do, people are a bit surprised. Maybe it's good for me to show that little bit of fire. Pete Sampras, who meets Andre Agassi in today's quarter-finals, on being criticised after his on-court outburst in previous round.

Once she started rolling, I started missing shots here and there. She started getting aggressive and hitting great shots. Jennifer Capriati on defeat to Steffi Graf.

Maybe the earlier matches took a toll. When I was getting ready in the locker-room, I felt it then. Capriati.

Now that I've made it to the Centre Court in a semi-final, I'm looking forward to it so much. It's not going to be easy to handle that. Jana Novotna.

I'm playing as good tennis as I ever have. . . I'm just playing good tennis, period. My age doesn't count. Martina Navratilova.

I think the 28-year-old Martina would be surprised that the 36-year-old Martina is still out there. Navratilova.
